good many stories. Here il one which
q correspondent at Benson sends to
the New York San: YESTERDAY Lep
Harvey arrived here with an account
Of how the earthquake saved his life.
Lep had been in this region many
years, and while he is well liked by
the majority Of the Mexicans, be has
some inveterate enemies among the
element. 1t so happened that on the
day of the first shock Lsp was over in
the Milestone Mountains when he
encountered jose Villiza, q big Mexi-
can, with whom he had had more than
one quarrel.
al wasn't armed for greasers,' LIP
said. i didn't have any knife, and
the only gun l had was a small affair
that was no good except on a white
man. As soon as that Teller put eyes
on me he came for me. We were well
up the mountain, and on one side Of
US was a pool of water about hun
dred feet across and / don t know how
deep. The greaser had . gun and a
knife, and as he moved up | fired
once or twice with no effect. Believ-
ing that my time had come began to
say my prayers, when he grabbed me
round the waist, and after dancing
me up and down for a minute until he
could get a good swing, he lifted me
high in the air and over the bluff into
the water.
"'Tll bet ! sank one hundred and
fifty feet, but by the time struck bot
tom there wasn't drop of water to be
seen. AS l went down / could feel a
sort Of SILVER, but I didn't know for
several days afterwards what caused
it. You see, / struck the pond just
as the earthquake began. and by some
mysterious process all the water in
that pond was drained off as slick as
though there never had been any
there. AS / couldn't swim this was a
great thing for me, and if I was in
clined to be conceited l might say that
the earthquake came along on pur-
pose to save me. That Greaser would
have drowned me like a rat in a hole.
He intended to fire at me as I was
floating around, but he never got a
chance. When / struck bottom he
was skipping for the level country
with his hat flying behind him. 1t
took me the best part of day to
climb out of that hole, but made it
after awhile. I'm down here now to

as tobacco box and then I'm going

Me- AND DANIEL.-The Rev. Dan
lei lsaacs once called at an inn to stay
the night. On asking for a bed he
was told he could not have one, as
there was to be ball that evening,
and all the beds were engaged.
What time does the ball break up?
asked Mr.. Isaacs.
About 3 in the morning sir.
Well, then, can l have a bed until
that time.
Yes, certainly; but if the bed is
asked for you will have to remove.
Very we'll, replied Mr.. Isaacs, and
away he went to get between the
sheets.
About 8 in the morning he was
awakened by loud knocking at his
chamber door.
What do you want? he asked.
How many are there of you in here?
asked a voice.
There's me and Daniel and Mr..
Isaacs and an old Methodist preacher,
was the reply.
Then by thunder! there's plenty of
you! and the speaker passed on, leav-
ing Mr.. lsaacs to enjoy his nap.

Harrison w,l, nun a. usual,

Chicago, March 22-The democratic
primaries were held to-day and the con-
vention will be held tomorrow. The
general impression is that Mayor Harri-
son will be renominated unanimously
and that he will take the matter under,
advisemeEt for o day or two and finally
yield to the unanimous voice" of his
party. 1t is thought that Stauber, the
socialist candidate for treasurer, will be
endorsed by the democrats. and Cox, the
socialist, for attorney. Harrison is still
protesting that he will not run, but is
out claiming that he could be
elected as against Roche. He said to-
day: "My letter of withdrawal meant
exactly what it said. do not mean to
say that would not reconsider it if the
proper Inducements were offered, say,
for instance, that 600 good republicans
would eIgn call asking me 20 run. Be-
fore II O'Clock on election day the labor
vote for Nelson will have reached such
proportions as to stampede many citI-
zsens of both the parties out OF the party
and for every such vote John A. Roche
gets Garter Harrison will get 100. The
republicans would vote for me just Gs
they did for Mayer Hewitt, in New
York" This is all accepted as showing
that II harrison will run as usual.

sense OF our citizens in srranging for him
a magnificent ovation with brass band
attachment and all the &c cateras of q
spontaneous outburst of the most endur-

labors at Bismarck resulted in an appro-
priation of blank hundred thousand
dollars for the maintenance of the insti-

dition of INDECENT half breeds and q
further appropriation of nearly hun
dred thousand in bonds for the estah-
